Clean Power by the Hour

RMI's study evaluates hourly carbon-free energy procurement strategies across seven global markets, finding that while hourly load-matching supports long-term grid decarbonization, strategies must be tailored to regional grid dynamics to maximize immediate emissions reductions.

• Hourly load-matching procurement strategies can establish the necessary foundation for a decarbonized electricity grid over the long term.
• To maximize the reduction of emissions in the short term, hourly procurement strategies must be specifically adapted to the dynamics of the regional grid.
